April arts bloom in our South King County Fine Arts Roundup with live music, storytelling, theater, opera, printmaking more

In the South King County Fine Arts Roundup, Amy Robinson presents an array of cultural events designed to engage the local community. The Auburn Symphony Orchestra will host a free "Rhythm and Rhymes Story Hour," which combines interactive music and storytelling for children aged 3-8, making it an excellent family outing. Meanwhile, "The Sandwich Ministry," a poignant play at Burien Actors Theatre, brings together three women to create sandwiches for displaced neighbors, highlighting themes of resilience and community support in the wake of a devastating storm. This production also emphasizes giving back, as sandwiches made during the performances will be donated to local food relief efforts. The roundup also includes a National Poetry Month celebration featuring local poets and a chamber opera that retells an iconic Inca story, showcasing the rich literary arts scene.

Additionally, the Seattle Print Arts Annual Print Exchange invites local artists to showcase their work, fostering creativity and community engagement. With free or affordable admission to many events, this roundup is a fantastic opportunity for residents to explore the vibrant arts scene in South King County. Overall, the roundup not only promotes cultural enrichment but also strengthens community ties through shared artistic experiences.
